UNESCO World Heritage Site status: is there opportunity for economic gain?
South Australia's Mt Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid could invigorate the state's tourism sector - offering visitors a unique and authentic cultural experience, as well as creating more jobs and boosting the economy.
An economic impact analysis indicates that the significant benefits are likely to be shared equally between businesses in the Adelaide CBD and those in the Barossa, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula.
James Rebanks (UK) examines World Heritage Sites across the world to discover how sites attract economic development. Rebanks' presentation will highlight what implications his findings might have for the food, wine and tourism economy of the City of Adelaide gateway, and the Mount Lofty Ranges region.
The lecture will give weight to the Mount Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid, proposed by six South Australian councils. If the bid is successful, up to 150,000 hectares from the Fleurieu Peninsula to the Barossa Valley will be protected and promoted globally for their cultural and agricultural assets.
